Aston Villa face a trip to Tottenham Hotspur at White Hart Lane on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Villans will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them ending up on the losing side in more than half of the games played between the two.
The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in May 2005, with Tottenham H. annihilating their visitors 5 - 1 in a Premiership match.
